Non-volatile log
When the router is configured to log to non-volatile memory, the log data is stored in flash memory, making it
accessible after a reboot of the router. Up to 512kb of log data will be stored before it is overwritten by new log
data. Flash memory has a finite number of program-erase operations that it may perform to the blocks of memory.
While this number of program-erase operations is quite large, we recommend that you do not enable this option
for anything other than debugging to avoid excessive wear on the memory.
Remote syslog server
The router can be configured to output log data to a remote syslog server. This is an application running on a
remote computer which accepts and displays the log data. Most syslog servers can also save the log data to a file
on the computer on which it is running allowing you to ensure that no log data is lost between reboots.
To configure the NTC-220 series router to output log data to a remote syslog server:
1 Click on the System menu from the top menu bar. The System log item is displayed.
2 Under the Remote syslog server section, enter the IP address or hostname of the syslog server in the IP /
Hostname [PORT] field.
You can also specify the port number after the IP or hostname by entering a semi-colon and then the port
number e.g. 192.168.1.102:514.
If you do not specify a port number, the router will use the default UDP port 514.
3 Click the Save button to save the configuration.
